Analysis of Nottingham Falls To The Hood
The Prophet Obblonge 1978 (Abilene, TX)
Have you ever felt like you were truly alive with purpose?
Like no door was your barrier?
That volatile structures enmeshed your vision?
The preacher's son belongs to only one
And screams his eulogies before deliverance
Profane and obstinate
Smiling and charismatic
Wearing the black uniform
Cavalry in covered wagons
Supply lines stretching borders
Armaments oiled and blued
I fought the law and I won
Nottingham falls to the hood
The sheriff of Oakland county
Burning upon his cross
